AT&T lifts its FaceTime restrictions, Microsoft launches an app for aiding those involved in natural disasters, Amazon's European streaming service gets some American hits, and T-Mobile stores will soon get the Nexus 7.

FaceTime UpdateToday AT&T lifted its FaceTime over cellular restrictions on iOS users. Previously, AT&T iPhone users could only use FaceTime over a WiFi network or an iOS device that was LTE-enabled via a MoblieShare plan. With these restrictions lifted, any AT&T customer with a compatible iOS device can use FaceTime over the cellular network. An automatic update enabling the iOS devices will roll "over the next few months," AT&T said. [AT&T Consumer Blog]

HelpBridge: A New Mobile App to Get Help and Give Help During a DisasterMicrosoft announced a new mobile app called HelpBridge geared towards helping users connect with loved ones and offer support during large scale disasters. HelpBridge lets you build a list of those you would want to contact in an emergency and let them all know if you're okay or need help with one gesture. You can also use the app to donate funds to relief agencies or find out what goods are currently needed where so you can donate efficiently. The app also lists volunteer opportunities. HelpBridge is free and available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. [Microsoft Corporate Citizenship Blog]
